[boost] [Math] Does boost want constants?

I noticed one file
(http://www.boost.org/boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp) asked for
mathematical constants (pi, e, phi, etc) in boost.

 

Which constants other than perhaps those would the boost community want?
Is there interest in a library of mathematical constants?

 

It also seems that there is no statistics library (i.e. functions to
compute mean, variance, moments, skew, kurtosis, median, mode,
quartiles, etc. from samples or histograms).    Would the boost
community be interested in these sorts of functions?
